OWING to the fact that theater buildings
are too often insufficiently provided with
means of exit for crowd the world has been
treated to a succession of horrors within the
past few years. 1t might have been thought
that after one such disaster public authorities,
if not the owners of the buildings, would see
to it that architectural defects were remedied
and repetition of such occurrences made
impossible That this was not the case is
shown by the loss of life that almost invari-
ably follows an alarm of fire or other sudden
excitement in a crowded theater. That peo-
pie, under such circumstances, will lose their
wits and become panic stricken is as expert
ence has shown, a matter of course; but the
consequences of their unreasoning and frantic
efforts to escape what is often only fancied
danger could not be disastrous if decent
regard for public safety were entertained by
the lessees of the houses, and broad stairways
and more than one outer doorway provided.
The law, in this country at least, requires
that such things shall be done, but the en-
forcement of the law is unfortunately apt to

IT is said the Democratic tariff thinkers and
revenue reformers at Washington have about
agreed on an abolition of the tax on tobacco
and fruit brandy and general reduction of
customs duties. The abolition of the tax on
tobacco will be concession to the producers

to the moonshiners. The tobacco tax yields
a large annual revenue, is easily collected and
